DescriptionInstructions for performance by Raven Chacon: For Olivia Shortt For a performer with any instrument surrounded by an audience of at least 11 people Start by facing any audience member. Watch or listen or learn from their actions or patterns of their dress or small sounds they make. Respond with sounds/music based on the information you receive. While nearing the end of that response, look to an audience member to the right of the previous one and read more information. Crossfade into a new music response. Continue pivoting clockwise, reading and responding until you have learned enough from the room. For seven of these responses, timbral effects should be used. At the four directions, play very quietly.
